ASHER PLUMBING INC

Punctual, polite, respectful They allowed me to reschedule exactly when I requested. felt they were trustworthy did not worry about them being in my house took their shoes off as I asked will use them again

Avi and his crew had is down. They showed up on time and were finished as scheduled and the quality of the work is outstanding.

The pipes and the hole in the wall came to about $5000. They came and they did the job. They came one day and then I think it was about two days later they did the work. They came out and found the leak and fixed it. I didn't check with other people, I just wanted it fixed because I had new carpet in here.

Had all the permits necessary and did get the job done.

I was very upset with the work this company did. They left with a bad clean up job and did not provide a receipt. The next day the trap assembly was already leaking. However, they came back out very quickly to resolve this.

We experienced a slab leak that practically destroyed the wood floor in our house.  We asked 3 companies to evaluate and quote a full repiping. From the moment that Avi walked into our house to prepare a quote, it was clear that he has repiping down to a science. I was still in disbelief when the project took 2 days, just as promised. Avi was on site most of the time supervising the work. His team knew exactly what to do and did it very efficiently. Moreover, they've been the cleanest contractors that we have ever engaged (no dust at the end of the day!!!).

After such a pleasant experience, we later engaged Avi to help re-route our irrigation system as we were suspecting another leak. It was another fine job done by his team.

Moreover, Avi has been more than helpful, and has gone the extra mile, with any questions we have had on any of the work that he has done with us. He's on our speed dial for all plumbing work.

Thank you Avi !!!

Amazing service: punctual, clean, great price! Amazing service. He was on site almost the entire time. His service was very fast as well. Done in 1 day, inspection the next day, came and completed everything the third day!

It went very well.  All work was completed in a day.  They were neat and professional.  I felt the work was done for a very reasonable price and I can now enjoy taking a bath without running out of hot water.

Avi and his two guys repiped all the verticals in my 1700 sq foot 1932 home. They worked very hard, and did the job in one long day. Avi was there most of the day, and did a lot of work putting back the plumbing fixtures and buying new metal hoses. They also put in a new tub/shower set that I bought, including the rough in valve. Great value and service. Thanks Avi!

Came on time, did the work neatly.  One small issue surfaced afterwards and it was taken care of quickly and without argument.

Avi and his crew have re-piping a house down to a science. The re-pipe for my very standard 3/2 house was completed in one day (water was back on by 4;30pm); with some follow-up on the next day for the dry-wall and stucco (had to wait for it to dry). All the components installed were top shelf quality. The re-pipe was performed just over one month ago, and since the re-pipe I have experienced zero problems.

Mr. Asher provided a simple and straightforward proposal for the above work which I accepted.  I had two other bids for this work.

His crew arrived on time and began by placing cloth canvases on my carpet and floors.  Most people today use plastic which in my opinion is next to useless.  They went about their business efficiently and by 4:00 PM that day they had completed the installation and the water was back in service.  All equipment/trash was picked up and work areas swept.  The next day after the Los Angeles City Inspector signed the final permit, I called Mr. Asher to let him know and within an hour his workman was at my home to patch and repair.  He moved all the furniture, etc. back into place and the job was completed. 

Mr. Asher was always checking to see how the job was progressing and did a final inspection the second day. 

I was dreading this job because of damage to walls and tile, but Avi is a true craftsman, cutting as little as possible and there was absolutely no damage to either shower.

My general contractor referred me to one plumber for removal of an old water heater and installation of a new tankless model. That plumber gave me a bid of approximately $4,000 (and a fee of $95 just for the estimate). I told my contractor that this seemed high, and he told me to try Avi Asher. Avi came to my house and gave me a (free) estimate of $2,700 for the same work. When we were scheduling the actual work, I asked him to also take care of some other minor issues while he was there: a leaking kitchen faucet, and some mis-aligned faucet handles in the bathroom. Avi completed all of the work promptly, at the promised price -- and he did not charge me at all for the minor faucet items. Plus, he called me afterwards to make sure that the new water heater was working properly, and even offered to come over and show me how to adjust it (which I didn't think was necessary. I will definitely call Avi when I have another plumbing issue.

We used Asher Plumbing for a number of projects. Avi is always on time, he will go an extra mile and while his services are not the cheapest (do you really want that??) He offers the best value for your money.
Just like with doctors and attorneys, they are the last persons we want to see, but when trouble happens, we want them soon.

Avi and his crew did an excellent job in a timely fashion.  They were the first bid provided to us, and after looking at two other plumbers on Angie's List that had well over 100 ratings who also mentioned they did re-pipe jobs, Asher Plumbing was the best.  Asher Plumbing's quote was $1000 lower than the third bid, which included a 10% Angie's List discount, and $1400 lower than the second bid, which also included a 10% Angie's List discount, and did *not* include patching!  Avi not only provided us with his quote in the bid, but also provided a copy of his company's liability insurance, workman's comp insurance, and a list of recently satisfied customers that I could call.  The other plumbers used subcontractors, and couldn't guarantee or even say if those subs had workman's comp.  Avi has his own crew, and he is a copper re-pipe specialist - that's his main thing.  Nobody else I could find on Angie's List could make this claim, and Avi said his crew is often used by other plumbers for their re-pipe jobs.  The small job plumber I had out at my house first who helped me determine the problem told me to make sure that whoever was doing the work had workman's comp insurance and that they were a re-pipe specialist, if I wanted the best job done.
Due to my own time constraints at work, the re-pipe work was scheduled for 14 days from when we got the quote.  In the meantime, we only turned on the house water when we needed, since we left the hot water off for all but necessities, and since the kitchen faucet would leak when we left only the cold on.  About a week before the work was scheduled, we didn't have hot any more, either, when the valve going to the hot water heater started leaking as well.
The work was due to start at 8AM on June 30th, and Avi and his crew were at the house about 10 minutes early.  They got right to work with I believe a 6-man crew in total.  They used my garage as a staging area for most of the equipment.  Cloth was laid down on the floor everywhere the crew needed to walk, and plastic coverings were put over furniture in both bedrooms where work needed to be done to get to the pipes in the wall the opposite side of the bathrooms.  We had cleared out all items on top of and underneath and around all sinks and toilets, and moved furniture as far away from walls that needed to be worked on, before the crew arrived.  They only had to move some stuff in the garage where I did not anticipate them going, and also had to empty some shelving above the washer and dryer as well as take those two appliances outside the house through the laundry room door to work in that area.  The work went very smoothly, and every hour or so I would just walk around to get a feel for what was going on.  In several areas they made small improvements, including moving a hot water supply under a bathroom sink much closer to the center where it should have been.  During the work they also bypassed/removed old piping that had been left outside from the removal of a water softener before.  I was told the house water would be on after 5PM, and I think it was actually on by 4.  Most of the big mess was cleaned after the work done the first day, with some materials left behind for the patching work to be done the next day.
The patching probably could have been done in the same day, but the inspector needed to first verify everything before holes started getting closed up, and he was to come the next morning.  Avi took care of the permits and scheduling the inspector.  On the next day, a two man crew arrived before 8 again, ready to patch.  They staged everything as much as possible so that they could begin work as soon as the inspection was complete.  The inspector only found one thing wrong, and it wasn't due to any work Asher Plumbing did - it was a problem with the way the water heater was installed.  The pressure release valve and drain pan are supposed to be routed to outside the house.  Avi took care of this on Tuesday for no extra charge to make sure we were compliant.  All of the holes from the previous day were neatly patched with the drywall they had saved when they first cut the holes.  The small amount of stucco that had to be broken through outside the house to avoid breaking through any walls or the ceiling in the kitchen (we have a two story house, so we couldn't just easily go through the attic without some sacrifice) was very neatly patched.  Any concerns I found as the job wrapped up were quickly addressed by Avi, including a slightly crooked faucet and an electrical box under the kitchen sink that provided power for the dishwasher, which had been removed from the wall.  All areas where work had been done, were shop-vac'ed and swept, and they were on their way before 5.
I found two small problems the following day, and emailed Avi about them in the morning.  Without hesitation, he said he could come by that afternoon to fix them.  One was the hose bib pre-regulator, where part of the fixture was not tightened all the way, so that when I tried to use a hose hooked up to it, it was leaking out of the handle part.  The second was that the electrical box I had mentioned before didn't seem to have power.  I neglected to check the breakers - that was the problem with the electrical.  And Avi easily fixed the hose bib.  He was in and out in maybe 10 minutes or less, with no complaints that he had to come out to fix two such small things.
Avi has a lifetime guarantee on his work, and he has great customer service, often anticipating what the customer will need before they ask.  His crew were very professional and polite.  I worked from home to keep an eye on things and figured I'd probably not get much done, but I ended up getting almost a full day's work in because I was able to relax and let the crew do their job knowing that it was being done right.  If I had to pick anything at all to criticize, the only thing would be that the cleanup wasn't as thorough as I would do for myself.  I did have to go over the bathrooms and sweep them myself to make sure they were really clean, as well as my garage and outside the house where the stucco work was done.  There was maybe an errant drop of spackle here and there, but very little considering all the patching that had to be done.  I don't think this at all detracts from the overall job, it's more a matter of how exacting my cleanliness standards are.
I would not hesitate in the least to recommend Asher Plumbing to anyone else that needs a re-pipe done.
